What is surprise in your life but an instant opportunity for transformation? A moment that can send you ascending into joy and wonder or spiraling into deep thought and life-changing new awareness.
An eye-catching beautiful and whimsical book The (not so) Little Book of Surprises brings that home inâof courseâsurprising ways! A mystical journey into consciousness, an exploration of what touches our hearts, a glimmering reflection on nature and ourselves, and plea for becoming our better angels are just some of the touchstones in store for readers as they experience the poetic exquisiteness of this gem.
This rumination on surprise comes courtesy of William Arntz, the creator and producer who surprised, confounded and delighted with his remarkable film What the Bleep Do We Know!? Now he teams with his wife, internationally renowned spiritual teacher and poet Deirdre Hade and award-winning photographer Endre Balogh to create something else quite special.
The (not so) Little Book of Surprises is anchored with Hadeâs visionary and lyrical poetry skipping lightly about over the stunning images curated by Balogh. Each breathtaking page creates an emotional resonance with the reader…using surprise as the doorway to transformation and transcendence. The images in the book are part eye candy/part soul candy. They pile on a sensory experience that mounts the sense of surprise page by page.  For more information please visit: www.BookOfSurprises.com
All of the bookâs creators began life in different fieldsâArntz as a laser physicist working on âStar Warsâ high energy lasers; Hade as a ballet dancer and choreographer, Balogh continues as an internationally regarded concert violinist. And through lifeâs mystery and surprise, they emerged as something else entirely, which makes them imminently qualified to bring forth a meditation in print on the gifts of surprise.
Whatâs the magic of surprise? Notesâ Arntz in the foreword: âThe âYouâ before is different from the âYouâ Afterwards.â And in The (not so) Little Book of Surprises there are 100+ pages of wonderment and surpriseâan invitation to be very different when one closes the last page of the book.

He then moved on to software, writing âAutoSysââan automated job control system currently in use by most Fortune 500 companies. He sold that company, retired, but then decided to make a film: creating, producing and directing What the BLEEP Do We Know!?, an exploration of spirituality, quantum physics, neurology and outrageous possibilities. The film and the companion book, with editions in over twenty languages, were international hits.
